(2) Substantially developed subdivisions in areas that are planned and zoned for farm or forest use outside rural reserves may be designated as receiving areas. A local TDC system may authorize residential development not otherwise allowable in the underlying farm or forest zone, provided:
(a) The subdivision was approved prior to January 1, 1985;
(b) All existing lots in the subdivision are five acres or smaller if the property is in western Oregon as defined in ORS 321.257 or 10 acres or smaller if the property is in eastern Oregon as defined in ORS 321.805;

(d) One dwelling per lot is permitted, with no new land divisions allowed; and
(e) The county approves a reasons exception pursuant to OAR chapter 660, division 4.
(3) Receiving areas must:
(a) Meet the requirements of ORS 215.296; and

(A) Minimizing the selection of receiving areas that are adjacent to high-value farmland; and
(B) Restricting increases in allowed density to the interior of applicable exceptions areas.
(4) Receiving areas may not include any land:
(a) That meets the conditions in OAR 660-029-0040(3)(b) through (e), except that the term "M49 property" is replaced with "land";

(i) Within an area of five acres or greater with a fire hazard rating of "High: 1.9-2.1" or "Very High: 2.2+" as designated on the "Community at Risk: Hazard Rating" map published by ODF on October 1, 2006;
(j) Within an area in which a detailed geotechnical report would be required to site a dwelling as specified in the acknowledged comprehensive plan or land use regulation;
(k) Within a landslide deposit or scarp flank on the SLIDO Release 3.2 Geodatabase published by DOGAMI on December 29, 2014, provided the deposit or scarp flank is from a data source mapped at a scale of 1:63,500 or finer; or
